View ToursOur school was opened in 1898; it has a rich history and a very promising future. Read on to find out a little of how West Monmouth School became the school it is today.
It was thanks to William Jones, Merchant Adventurer and distinguished member of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers, London that West Monmouth School came in to existence.
A portrait of William Jones hangs, as a tribute, in the Head Master’s office, which was originally used as the Boardroom.
William Jones was born in the village of Newland in the Forest of Dean. between 1545 and 1550. He was sent to Monmouth as an apprentice, from where he moved to London at around the age of 20.
It is widely believed that his fortune was made as a haberdasher, yet there is some confusion as to whether all of his fortune was made this way. Whatever the truth behind his wealth, it is certain that he did become very rich before his death, which is believed to have been in Hamburg in January 1615.
It is my absolute privilege to be the headteacher of West Monmouth School and to be the leader of this vibrant learning community.
West Monmouth is a community of aspiration in which every single pupil is nurtured and challenged to achieve their very fullest potential. We encourage all our learners to ‘reach for the stars’ and charge ourselves with providing them with the skills, qualifications and personal qualities to be successful in reaching their goals, however ambitious.
